Words of Wisdom.

We are martyrs to our own faults
To live fast means too often 70 die fast
INSTRUCTED labor is waste Of activity.
Nearly all great men.have had remar-
kable memories.
Do the truth you know, and you shall
learn the truth You need to know
Feebleness of means is. in fact, the fee
bleness Of him that employs them.
Call not that man wretehed who,
whatever ills he suffers. has child To
love
Extraordinary Affections are not al
ways the punishments Of extraordinary
graces-
False men are not to taken into conf
denee, nor fearful men into post that
requires resolutions.

RENE edy For Poison Ivy.

People who have sought relief during
the heated term at the various seaside re-
sorts which dot the coast Of New Jersey
have suffered at intervals from plague
Of mosquitoes and black gnats. Others,
who preferred the mountains and inland
attractions, have suffered greatly from
contact with poison ivy. The iormer
found remedy in Pennyroyal and brush
fires. but many of the poisoned ones got
no relief. They nave not responded to
treatment As a rule lime water, butter
milk aud oxide OF zinc ointment, into
which little white precipltate has been
rubbed, viii effect a cure. This year il
seems as though the poison had TO run
itself out.
A gentleman, however, who after suf-
fering for ten days more torture usually
falls 20 the lot Of man, finally got relief
in the following manner He satIrated a
slice Of bread with water. and then
spread over it soodly amount Of soda
This plaster he applied 70 the eruption

moisture WAS absorbed or eyaporated.

Chamberlain correspondence: For
nearly two years the county poor house
has had as an inmate Judge Parker. He
came upon the reservation and took q
claim when opened by President Arthur
IN the spring OF 1885. He was, in poor
health at the time, but ambitious to
have o home OF his own out OF the
great domain OF the nation. When the
ukase OF Cleveland fell upon the people
who had settled o N the land, like many
lt2thers, Parker was crushed and lost his
Esprit and became q county charge. In
early life he graduated at Harvard with
| high honors, and afterwards graduated
in n of tho best law schools in tile
country. He was one Of the most cul-
tured and polished men in his converse
ton ever in this country. At one time
he occupied q seat on the bench, Yves
the head OF a fine family, consist
ing wife and two children. He was seized
with 9 ft Of sickness that illuminated in
arrangement of the mind. He vas taken
to an asylum for treatment and at the
end Of live years was cured and dis
charged. On his return home be found
it desolate, wife and shildren all having
sickened and died during his absence.
Broken Ia spirit, he became q wandering,
aimless man. Where he went or what
he did will always remain q secret, as he
sturdily refused to divulge any Of his
past history. He undoubtedly has rela-
lives in some of the eastern states who
would be glad I'd hear Of him. Last week
he grew weaker and weaker, until at last
death released him. He was buried in
arespectable manner. Could the Null
history of his life be known, there is no
doubt but q story stranger than fiction

would only serve to bring about more
trouble. Those who had condemned

communication was the inevitable pom
sequence of his defiant attitude. Arch.

order from Rome as yet; all he knows
about the matter is what has appeared
